I'm gonna assume it can take a good impact, so I'll either use it as a drop ship..... or just ram anything thats in the way
are you going to buy an Argo?

Technically, when it is released for sale it will be the Concept sale at Flyable prices. I expect Argo will be asking around $50 US, if just for the boat and the two KNOWN Pods.
We should not compare it to the P-52/72 or DF. In terms of LTI-token, it won't be "cheap". While it shares the "Local" limitations, it has drastically different functional intention. I used the term 'Boat' in reference to it's "Local" limitation and it cargo/person carry capacities. P-52/72 are distinctly Snub, DF is it's own can of worms.

Lando/Ben said on RtV like 2 weeks ago that the Argo Sale it's a Concept Sale since the ship haven't been sold any other time, and also a fly ready sale, since the ship was made for the S42, so you will be able to get a fliable ship with LTI right away.

Sorry, every time I've seen this thread today I've been unable to stop myself singing 'Do you wanna buy an argo?' In the style of frozen.
God dammit.

"take it out and fly away
to buzz around Olisar
one pod or more
Ferry from D to A"
I don't believe it does. It's the Dodge Caravan of space.
Oh of course! One or two of these in the big cargo boat, dispatch them to a big space rock along with your Prospector(s), and the Argos run full/empty ore containers back and forth so the Prospectors can keep digging! And I'm really surprised no one thought of this: Picture 100 Argos attached to the inside of the rings at Port Olisar. POOF! Biggest Ferris wheel in the universe!

Wouldn't you prefer a couple of Gladius for your Irdis? The Argo seems like a civilian utility ship, the Irdis isn't a freigter :D or cruise ship, it is a capital combat ship? But... a gift is a gift, don't complain about free gifts :)

[RECTIFICATION] The Irdis is a Capital
I can see no harm adding one as a buy back option but in reality if your ship can land on its own already I cannot see the use. I already have a couple of small haulers i.e. cutlass blue and hull b. Still since they made it I can see no harm in them selling it.
I want an Argo... but i don't have MONEY! :(
Well.. Aurora ftw

I agree, offering a call service that would take >5%, on a per planet basis would be the way to go. Anyone wants to organize this, I'm sure there's software out there to do it efficiently. Once you got it running, it could handle itself for the most part. Having the primary concession for, say Terra would be golden. You could offer a voice service through most of the larger VoIP's would be the way to go.
